What We Do

All Our Services

Coles County Tree Co. began in 2014 as a removal outfit: Dale Kruger, one bucket truck and one chipper, taking down maples and ash around Charleston, Illinois the way a line-clearance crew had taught him. Removal is still our main job. But many calls now are smaller: an old stump in the mowing line, deadwood in a bur oak over the drive, a limb the city code says must clear the street, a fencerow gone to redcedar and hackberry, or a building site that needs clearing before the slab.

Every one starts with the question Dale learned on the lines: where's the tree, and what could it hit? A house, a fence, a wire or a road decides the rigging and the price. That's why stump grinding, trimming and clearing each get their own page and their own price ranges, not a line buried in one vague "tree service" quote.
